We were looking for a hibachi place to eat and there are not that many around here. We had heard that Mikado was a great place so we ignored the outside and decided to try it. The first impression is that the place needs to be cleaned. They have a lot of stuff and it looks like they haven't dusted it or wiped things down in a while. Even their picture frames on the wall have scratched plastic instead of glass. We decided to stay anyhow and when we got to the hibachi table we were the only ones there. The walls were a nasty yellow color from all of the grease int he air and not being cleaned, the wall decorations again looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time either. The food was good. The sushi rolls were decent but not the best that I have ever had. The hibachi was good as well but again nothing special. With all of the sushi places in the area I don't think that we will come back. read more

I'm giving 5 stars because our server Jill was prompt attentive and accurate...... And because the tempura udon noodle soup was the best Ive ever had.... No exaggeration here. I have high standards with food and the blend of flavors in this soup were outrageous. The portion is hardy as well. If you come across this place make sure you order this soup! Cheers Pete read more

New chef and new lease on life. Great sushi and the spaz has left the building.

We recently ate here 7/9/21 food is usually consistent and delicious last night we had habachi and the chicken wasn't cook and the noodles were burnt for a small group paying over 300 dollars was disappointing and for the price is not worth the inconsistency and not knowing whether the food will be satisfying or not read more

The food used to be better. Take out sushi is sub par. Four rolls for 50$ and was average at best. I would recommend other options.

Horrendous. Don't waste ur time. Sticky floors (?!), slow service, small portions, dark, poor ventilation. ...food not too too bad...our salmon sashimi was discolored. read more

We stopped by this town on the way up to Montreal, and this was the only place that was still opened (other than BK and Pizza Hut). They served other type of food besides Japanese (I believed Korean if I'm not mistaken). We ordered different type of sushi and rolls because we weren't too hungry. Sushi was fresh - nothing out of the ordinary. My favorite had to be the squid salad. Coo coo. Rad rad. *nice town btw. read more

This food is amazing. Low prices with huge portions. Management is very friendly and they always do the most they can if an order turns out wrong. I've never had a bad experience here. So much variety here that you could literally eat there every night if that's what you are into. Sushi is very filling and high quality ingredients. You won't be disappointed read more

Great food and great service. The team creates a great environment and the food is fast and always fresh. They are very consistent and have yet to be disappointed with the sushi. The value is worth it and the execution is very skillful. I highly recommend these guys as one of the go to sushi places in the area and have been her the longest. The Chefs are on point and take pride in their food. I look forward to returning. read more

Absolutely horrible! Waited 20+ minutes after being seated before we had to ask for a server. Appetizer was brought out with one meal, they forgot my boyfriends meal. Forgot to bring back beer. Comped the $10 uneaten calamari, but didn't comp anything else for the horrible experience, even though the server (Floor Manager) knew he screwed up all night after he apologized. Spent 2 hours and $100 on horrible service, burnt habachi scallops and an awful experience. read more

Unassuming from the outside and the atmosphere is a bit of a downer / very dated, but the food is very good. The value for the area is reasonable. I would return if in the area again. read more

Great wait staff. Were given cold lemon water with ice as soon as we sat down which was really nice. Sushi was amazing. Both fish and veggie sushi were excellent. We highly recommend it. read more

After years of a upholding a reputation for notoriously good sushi (as well as incredible Hibachi and Korean dishes), I have nothing but good things to say about Mikado and it's owners. If you're looking for the best spot in area, look no further! read more

I have been coming here for 9 years and it is my favorite restaurant in the world!! The clear soup, rock shrimp, California, spicy tuna, and heart attack rolls are the best!! Clean with fresh and delicious food, and the sushi is awesome!! read more

What I love about Mikado is of course, the sushi. However, every visit I've had to Mikado (which is several) has had at LEAST a 40 minute wait for about 4 rolls. They only have 1 sushi chef, and 3 hibachi chefs. For the taste of the food, and the amount of business I see them do with sushi, they should think of hiring another sushi chef. Overall, great food, the place needs a little renovation, great wait staff (except Matt is always high and doesn't seem to know when to let the customers be to eat) and med-to-slow wait time for food. Make of this what you will-- I really like their sushi so I still put up with what I don't like about the place. read more

Best Japanese restaurant in town. Great hibatchi and sushi table. There is no other place with as fresh of seafood as Mikado!!!

Danny knows how to make the best rolls in upstate NY. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. The new location is beautiful can't wait to see the open air look. Service needs to be ironed out a little bit I'll always put Mikado at the top of the sushi chain. And did I mention they have Sloop on tap? read more

My sister-in-law worked here for five years and when my parents moved to the area, this was our first destination. We ordered a variety of sushi to start and each one was better than the last one. My SOL picked them out so I can't even tell you what was in each one but I have never had better sushi so I think it is safe to say that whatever you order you can't go wrong. I had the shrimp tempura dinner and it was delicious. It came with quite a few shrimp and many pieces of fried veggies too. Also it came with rice, miso soup and salad. I was happily full by the end of the meal. I can definitely understand why my SOL's face lit up when my parents suggested going here for dinner. I would gladly return. read more

Sushi is great here. I love hibachi grill and they have it here. It is right in downtown Glens Falls. So you can walk to the theater after dinner right from here. The best Japanese food in Glens Falls, for sure. read more

I go here for the vegetable sushi and miso soup. Their prices on it are fantastic and it's always good quality. The wait can be a little long but it's worth it if you have the time. The service is great otherwise and their waitstaff is very helpful. read more

Love, love, love this place. This Japanese-Korean restaurant has a little bit of everything. It has a two hibachi tables, which tend to be the main attraction for many. The food is delicious; the portions are generous, and the show is entertaining. One note here though--if you're coming on a weekend and want to sit at one of these tables, a reservation is a must. The sushi here is outstanding as well. If you like maki sushi, then you've gotta check out their menu because their maki menu, which contains tons of thoughtful, creative, tasty, and reasonably priced rolls. The young roll, naked roll, rock and roll, and dragon roll are my favorites. In fact, when I go to a sushi restaurant, Mikado is my quality benchmark. Mmm.. If sushi and hibachi aren't your thing, their traditional Japanese food, which includes terriyakis and that sort of thing, are good too, but if you're up for something adventurous with a bit more spice, I recommend their Korean specialties, which are amazing. This place has the best Japanese or Korean food in Glens Falls, Saratoga, or Albany! read more

If you judge a restaurant by first impressions when walking up and walking in...you won't be disappointed. This place is every bit of what it looks like; "a dump". I try to overlook appearances and judge by the quality of the meal and the service. Well, service rates an F and food a D-. We had a reservation for a regular table (as opposed to a seat at the hibachi) and were directed to the hibachi. Strike number 1. Then we were walked to our table where we were given 1 menu Strike 2...we had to ask for another menu. The waitress seemed nice but failed to inform us about the "specials". We ordered from the regular menu and waited a long time before any food appeared...and then....finally...my wife's dish arrived. She asked for no teryaki and it was dripping in sauce...she asked for white rice and it came with noodles. My dish shortly followed only if you define shortly as 15 minutes later. I ordered the ginger swordfish..it was just ok. I am new to the Queensbury/Glens Falls area and I am hoping I find a good Japanese restaurant. Tonight was a complete diappointment. read more

Mikado - Can you fond the name of this restaurant. If you can then try to forget it - Japanese Near Me - Glens Falls, New York

This is a small but solid hibachi restaurant. The food was good, not to much of any one seasoning, which created a nice balanced plate. The showmanship of our chef however prevented this from being 4 stars. He was below average in my experience and many of the" tricks" i enjoy seeing were not performed. Overall however a very solid dinner option. read more

I just got take out lunch from here last week. Two rolls for $15, a treat but not an extravagant one. I got the spicy salmon roll with added avocado and a shrimp tempura with cucumber. I was glad to see white ginger and not the artificial pink! I will definitely come back for more. read more

Great sushi and teriyaki. Service was slow, but they made up for it once I made it clear that we had been waiting too long. The waitress Sam apologized, brought us a freebie edamame, and the food was worth the wait! They had a very large hibachi group in back, and I think that threw them a bit. They made it right which I appreciate. read more

Who would think that you would have to pay extra for miso soup and fried rice at a a hibachi grill. Welcome to Mikado! Steak and chicken hibachi combo with the above $33.95 and no free refills on soft drinks either. Hibachi chef was excellent and very entertaining. Food portions were good and flavorful. Service was marginal. Other hibachi grills in the area are as good or better and less expensive. Definitely will not be my first choice. read more

Danny continues to strive for excellence! The new atmosphere is that of big city vibrations, with a small town welcoming. I sincerely congratulate you for all you have done. Thank you for the hospitality. read more

Good sushi at a decent price. Don't let the looks fool you. Always pleasant service.

Good sushi, terribly slow service and how hard is it to make a daquiri? Met some friends here for sushi. First of all, the place is nothing to look at, but that has never stopped a place from having good food. We decided to get some drinks while we waited for our friends. My husband ordered a 'large' beer thinking it would be a draft...he got a MONSTER can of beer probably equivalent to at least 3 drafts...bonus! I couldn't decide what to drink and ordered a daquiri...what a mistake! The waitress brought it to the table and it was the color of fizzy pink soda with whipped cream, SPRINKLES AND A CHERRY ON TOP (whaaaaattttt?!)! It even tasted worse than is looked, like a fizzy strawberry soda with absolutely no liquor in it. Tried to pawn it off on our friends when they got there, but after one taste we had no takers. Service was extremely slow, considering there were very few people eating sushi that night. However, the sushi was good and fresh. Some of my favorites were the Tuna Tataki and Tuna Salmon Mango Tartar (apps), and the Fire Cracker Roll and Red Dragon Roll. We also got the sushi for 4, which was good, but too much sashimi and too few rolls on it for me. So food was good, if you don't mind waiting a long time for it, but beware of the specialty drinks. read more

Worst dining experience ever. If you don't believe it, eat it off the side of the highway where we proceeded to chuck our leftovers out the window after eating. On our bill, they added a tip automatically, which the waitress did not deserve. We ordered the squid, which was what the waitress suggested since they didn't have octopus, and it came out rotten. Kimchi was good though so it set our expectations at a pretty good level just to be let down by every single other plate of food they set on our table. The most pleasurable thing was the water but the waitress was slow at refilling it that I'm currently suffering from symptoms of dehydration. We payed $130, including the $20 tip that was pre-added to our bill, and we are very disappointed. read more

Yes "I've experienced better". The inside is of this place is dull and out dated. The sushi didn't seem fresh but the prices were cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. I will be back if im on a budget but for a few more dollars I will go down the road. read more

We had an excellent meal and excellent saki. Sit at the bar if Greg is tending. He'll take good care of you

I eat sushi quite frequently. Not all that great. Took forever to get what I ordered & when it arrived I was very disappointed with the quality. Will not return. read more

When I went here about ten years ago, their portions for sushi were small and pricy, and I concluded that I would not go again. Since then I recently was obliged to go there for a friend's birthday party. They did a complete 360. Portions were just right, sake was great, and the hibachi cook was funny and entertaining. They were very attentive, and I couldn't ask for more. I think I will be having my birthday there in may. It'll be fun. read more

Had high expectations, left with a sour taste in our mouths. Service was slow, got our sushi right away, turned out it was for another table. Had to ask a random waitress for more drinks. Food took a while to come out. When it finally came my girlfriend bit into a spring roll only to find a piece of plastic inside. After an hour and a half we left with our sushi in a box. They did remove the spring roll from our bill and dropped it 20% , but still made for an underwhelming experience for which we had high expectations. read more

Easily my favorite place to get sushi in town as the staff is always awesome and the food is always good! Even if you want a cocktail, those aren't bad either! It's the type of place where I order enough to make sure I have extra for later or the next day! read more

Our dinner began on a high note with the arrival of a small bowl of perhaps the best kimchi I have ever tasted: incredibly fresh, vibrant and leaving a bit of fizz on the tongue from its recent fermentation in the kitchen. According to our waitress, this venerable "Japanese Steakhouse" has been operated for the last 15 years or so by a Korean family and they certainly know their kimchi. We were also dazzled by the dish of exquisitely tender fried tofu our daughter ordered. But dinner went downhill from there. Sushi was amateurish at best--badly rolled and bland. My wife never found the "crunch" in her "tuna crunch roll." And the "fish tacos" were an embarrassment: What arrived were two hard shells like you would find from El Paso brand, filled with a tuna substance more like baby food and slathered with mayo-ee sauces. The chef methinks likes his squirt bottles too much. We never did see the hibachi pork belly special I ordered. After all the other food had been eaten, we stared at dirty plates and watched the hibachi chef entertaining a small group of diners at the far end of the restaurant. Our waitress explained that the process was "complicated." Finally, after the waitress failed to remove the dirty china despite several passes, we stacked it at the side of the table and asked for the check. She did not charge us for the pork belly. Despite our disappointment, we plan to return based solely on the transcendent experience of that kimchi and try the Mikado's Korean fare, which is almost hidden away in a lower corner of the epic Japanese menu. Apparently the owners are unaware that Korean is really hot right now. But never again the sushi. read more

The new location is beautiful. Love their food & have always had good service. Mikado is my favorite restaurant in the area.

It had been a few years since I last visited Mikados... my prior poor experience had kept me away. We gave it another try at their new location... EPIC FAIL! We had a reservations for 15 people for a birthday celebration and arrived 30 minutes early. We waited two hours to be seated! We sat at the bar for 30 minutes before we were offered a drink. Once seated, it went from bad to worse! Sushi appetizers ordered we never brought to the table... All of the meat was on our plates long before any vegetable, rice or noodles appeared. We were never offered refills on drinks. We were there for almost 3 1/2 hours and I was only able to get 1 ginger ale. To top it off, one couple from our group was asked to leave because the bartender formed an "opinion" that he was inebriated! He had 1 beer! To be clear, not one person from our group was loud or disrespectful. Unbelievable Mikado! You just lost 15 local customers...who will be sure to spread the word about our experience! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Visited: 11/10/18 read more

My partner and I tried it for the fist time last night. We wanted the hibachi table, but as there were no others dining ,we were relegated to a table for two (or we could wait for more people to show up, and then they would accommodate us). New to this type of food, we were a bit at a loss as to what to order. Our fault completely...However, we both ended up with soup dishes. I wish the menu had a bit of explanation. We had a soup app and then a soup dinner. Not what I expected when I order duck. Again our fault. The flavors were excellent and delicious, but not what we wanted. Our server was excellent, but explained everything AFTER our food was delivered and half eaten, we actually added spring rolls to our dinner halfway through. I was disappointed in the lack of communication. It was very flavorful, but left me disappointed. I guess I needed some guidance, and I really wanted the hibachi experience. Again, my fault, but I shouldn't have to work so hard to order dinner. The fried ice cream was yummy---needed solids after all that soup, cost was 72.00 and added 20.00 tip. We will try again as all the food was beautifully prepared. I now know how to order. An expensive lesson read more
